The Conservation Committee received another report yesterday that read, "Last night another tree has been damaged due to very heavy rains and strong winds. Local officials want to know how many trees they will need to plant to replace the old tree." They need your help!

The old tree had a diameter half the length of the diameter from the previous case. Use what you learned about changing the dimensions of circles to respond to the questions they asked:
1) "If we use the circumference method, how many new trees do we need to plant?"
2) "If we use the area method, how many new trees do we need to plant?"

Note: Use the "New Report" worksheet to send your response to local officials.
